    This stuff is a lot more than a multivitamin, not only does it contain Korean ginsing but it also contains chromium both of which can cause anxiety.

    This is taken from their advertising,

    I've been in the market to buy a new multivitamin for a few weeks. Animal Pak by far is the best (if cost is not an issue). AP is made for people on cycles whose internal functions are in critical states due to AAS. The problem is AP is it's price, even on Amazon $23 for a 44 count container, and a suggested 2 pak serving? That's about $1 a day. Even if you ran an 8 week cycle that's just not enough.

    Optimen is a solid product, so is GNC's MegaMen.

    Personally, I just purchased the cheapest multi from CVS and supplemented specific vitamins and minerals I wanted. Pretty much the same thing but tailored for my needs!

    Would be good if they cut the price by at least half!

    I'd go with NOW Foods ADAM because it's only two pills per day and they don't taste bad.
